You can try. But you may need to patch the source code to follow CL’s conventions.
As I said in previous thread, I don’t have a device for testing. So I won’t give you any support.
I tried to disable intel gpu and now I get a completely black screen and no white screen.
try: press Ctrl + Shift + F2/F3/… to go the the tty
Yeah did but not able to load graphical interface.nvidia driver loads fine .but display manager has issue.it boots to a black screen with _ on the top but doesn’t go to the login screen. I hope anybody with optimus makes a guide on how to install driver properly.
As I said, NVIDIA officially says this is not a supported use case.
Some other distros support it and you should consider use one of these distros.
CL is not intended for desktop usage.
I would like to get some extra performance with cl and nv.but this happens.
Did someone successfully install drivers on optimus previously.?
yes. but he’s able to disable integrated GPU in bios. and this is the exact exception that you can install the driver on Optimus laptop, mentioned by NVIDIA
How do I fix unable to determine default library path error after running install.bash
my script doesn’t print that error
It did give me a warning when run install.bash

- they’re warnings and not error
- they come from the installer
- if you didn’t change anything and had run the pre_install script then it’s totally fine
I won’t reply to any of your questions. Because I have repeatedly told you
- This repo is not intended for your use case
- Your setup is not officially supported by NVIDIA
- I cannot test any workarounds because I don’t have a Optimus laptop
Ok.thanks anyways.i will try myself.
How to add different boot entries with different kernel parameters to boot intel on one entry and with nvidia on other entry
Hi I have an issue, I used this scripts (pre_install, install and post_install) to install nvidia latest drivers but it is only recognizing my first gpu rtx 2060 and not my second one gt 710, anything I have try in /etc/X11/xorg.conf results in gnome not loading even using the file that /opt/nvidia/bin/nvidia-xconfig generates without changes same if I try to make any config in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/nvidia.conf, if I have no xorg.conf everything works except for my second gpu, also if I unplug rtx2060 now gt710 works, any idea of what can I try to make it work?
Can you post you xorg.conf?
Both of my 1080 Ti could be found correctly. But SLI is not working. ( Same as many other distro )

Both files results in black screen and I have to use ctrl+alt+F2 to delete xorg.conf in order to being able to use gnome.
